The best way to destroy the LTTE is to dim Sinhala natiolism when promoting Sri Lankan interests.
When the Sri Lankan government speaks/acts they must show they are the Sri Lankan government and not the Sinhala government. Everyone knows when we talk about the Sri Lankan government, the Sri Lankan army, the Sri Lankan businesses we are actually talking about the Sinhalese government, the Sinhalese army, the Sinhalese businesses. This has to change.
Just a test, what kind of feeling do you get when I state the following :
'The Sri Lankan governing system contains many insincere sinister politicians who only want to promote the interest of themselves and their friends. They use the Sinhalese natiolism to get the votes from the majority. They use the war situation to keep the focus on the Tamil Tigers while neglecting the grievances of the Tamils and they use it to stir up the Sinhalese natiolism to get even more votes'
Well I am quite sure most people will go and attack me with things like 'Tigers are terrorists, Tamils should go back to Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka belongs to the Sinhalese' and that kind of nonsense.
But if you read again, I never said a wrong word about the Sinhalese. I am talking about the insincere, sinister, corrupt SRI LANKAN government (which should consist of Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims..)
Just face it. Every official sentence which now contains the word Sri Lankan can be replaced by Sinhalese. Only when this change the Tamils feel they are accepted, otherwise they have no other choice than to support the Tigers (LTTE/Karuna) or to live in desperation hating all parties. |

Then, how about proposing at the peace talks to change the name of the whole country from Sri Lanka to 'Republic of EELAM' and see how the Sinhala people would respond ... ha ha ha... I am sure VP will accept this as the final solution and give up fighting! ha ha ha

Dear Chandana:
Read this:

If they can do this to Kadir...(Remember one prominent publication also named Kadir 'Sri Lanka on the Year' that year) what is the chance for any other Tamil??? |

In Sri Lanka, the report highlighted 'violent resistance' by some Buddhists to Christian church activity of particularly evangelical groups.
There also were sporadic attacks on Christian churches by Buddhist extremists, it said.
Ms Rice, I am not condoning any attacks that have taken place in Sri Lanka but they pale in comparison to attacks on Black Churches in the US by White Supremacists until recently and not to mention associated deaths (I don't think people were killed in such attacks in Sri Lanka) |

| Mavilaru, don't be too anxious about LTTE's picture. It will show up right before Nov 27, 06. Please be patient for a little while. |

There are some limitations for the the minorites with regrds to the leadership of the nation.
You would never expect a christian to become Sri Lankan presedent though the christians are more powerfull than buddists in every sphere of life in Sri Lanka.
like wise you would never expect a Black or a hispanic to become the US president, or an asian to be British primeminister.
Likewise when there is competition form a equel or better sinhalese cadidate it is foolish to expect Kadir to be prefferd to Mahinda.
Having said that I believe that Kadir had a very good chance of becoming the prime minister of Rajapakse Govt. had the LTTE not killed him, since there was no equel or better person for that post at present.
Statecraft is a art of its own as Plato very eloquently explained. It is a myth that people who have exelled in other fields are equally good at politics.
One imprtant thing in this art is wait till the most opportune moment, as people like MR did very well and poeple like Lalith Atulatmudaly, and Gamini Dissanayake learned the hard way.
As for me it is the LTTE that prevented first Tamil bocoming the Prime Minister of SL. (Terrorist supporter will be very happy not a have a ethnic tamil as Sri Lanakan PM at this moment of time) |
